Great for outdoor dining
Good for groups
Hot spot

The Indian Neck community is the perfect location to bring all of Branford, and surrounding areas together. On this wonderful corner a gas station was a thriving business in its prime. Terrific stories about the garage are abundant as we construct. Then owner Bob Beatty envisioned a farming component and brought it to fruition. People came from everywhere to support this dual functioning business.

Limited menu. Ordered spicy food and waitress never returned to refill my water. Wasn’t asked if we wanted anything else before being handed the bill.

I was so excited to try this place especially on a warm March night for my husband’s birthday. I made the reservation weeks ahead of time and called the night before to confirm and ask to be sat outside instead of inside. The person I spoke with was very kind and changed my reservation to outside. We get there and they didn’t have my reservation changes to outside in the system...no worries, they were going to clean off a table for us. We waited...waited...finally I spoke to the hostess who was helping us initially and said no has come to clean table yet. she cleaned table for us...after I asked. Then we sat and waited....waited...waited until I called someone over and asked if our server could take our order. He said he would help us but then told us “we ran out of food and we are doing all you can eat BBQ buffet for $25”. !!!!! What?! They should have told us this at the door. We left because we were so disappointed with the communication. We found out later that my mother in law had left her credit card information to pay for our dinner, which we didn’t get. So disappointed.

what a find! I really enjoyed my first time at the stand. came for a girls night with two of my sisters, its kind of in the middle of where we all live. I made a reservation online about a week prior, not realizing that they were doing a special pop up night with a BBQ chef from Georgia. kind of disappointed we didn't know that at the time of reservation, no heads up, just because when we arrived they weren't offering their normal menu. our server tried to help us out and see if we could still order from the kitchen, but they were so in the weeds, it really couldn't happen. all three of us are in/have worked in the industry and we totally get it, I will say though our server was absolutely spectacular and offered us some wings and fries which was thoughtful, in the end we ended up having BBQ, and it was delicious, its just not what we intended to come out and eat. we were really excited about the stand's menu, which just means we will have to go back! they have a kick a** indoor/outdoor feel, garage doors that open to a really killer outdoor area, cant wait to hang here this summer! all in all, we had a great experience and are looking forward to going back, also their cocktail program is fire, really creative and yummy!

Made a reservation for 6:15 for outside and there was a table for us. However it was packed and you couldn’t even park in the parking lot. They we’re definitely over the numbers required for covid. There was live music and the ambiance was perfect HOWEVER after the waitress took our drink order and she came back and said they were out of food from their regular menu and we’d have to eat their smoked meat special. We were not okay with this and specifically called ahead of time to make sure that we could eat off their regular menu. Such a shame!
